NEW REDA TRAINING INITIATIVE FOCUSES ON REDA BOARDS

Released on June 26, 1998

Economic and Co-operative Development Minister Janice MacKinnon today

in Prince Albert announced a new training program for Regional

Economic Development Authority (REDA) board members that will add to

the expertise of these volunteers.



SIAST Woodland campus will develop and deliver the REDA Board

Governance Training program. More than 300 volunteer board members

from the province's REDA network will be invited to participate.



"We want to provide the best training possible, so that REDAs can

continue to help create opportunities and jobs in their communities",

MacKinnon said. "This program recognizes how important local

volunteers are to the success of REDAs across the province. We are

also pleased that the expertise of SIAST will help shape the training

program."



REDAs are grassroots organizations that bring together business,

co-operatives, community organizations and local governments to

encourage job creation and investment in their regions. Projects and

priorities are set locally. Activities in Saskatchewan's REDAs

include such diverse activities as "one-stop" assistance and

information services for business, investment attraction missions,

entrepreneurial education programs, and website development.



The new training program will help REDA board volunteers

thoroughly understand their roles and responsibilities in leading

community economic development and ensure REDAs offer consistent

standards of business support across the province. Training will

also deal with strategic planning and the latest economic

development trends. The program is one component in a series of

new REDA training initiatives being developed.



"Through the development and delivery of the REDA Board

Governance Training, SIAST will strengthen its relationship with

REDAs across the province," added Grant MacTavish, SIAST Woodland

Campus Extension Consultant. "This initiative will also enable

SIAST to develop a generic 'board of director' training program

in response to requests from a number of other community boards."



"REDAs are doing a good job in delivering such 'front-line'

services as business counseling and job training programs,

"MacKinnon said. "Our government is committed to continue

working in partnership with them. By providing more resources

and services, we ensure REDAs can continue to prosper and drive

economic development throughout the province and create jobs for

Saskatchewan people."



MacKinnon noted the government strengthened its support to

Regional Economic Development Authorities this year by increasing

funding by almost $2 million.
